There are plenty of sideshows leading up to the Super Bowl, from Media Day to the parties. But this year, there's a bonus distraction: the weather forecast.

However as we get closer to kickoff, it appears there’s a low chance of snow, ice or the dreaded frozen vortex taking hold for Super Bowl Sunday. In his latest video with Sporting News, media critic Ed Sherman says it turns out the weather is just the latest overhyped, underdelivered part of the Super Bowl experience.

“I think it will be a little bit of a letdown,” Sherman told SN host Rayven Tirado. “I think we were kind of hoping that Roger Goodell and all his friends would have to sit out there either in a snowstorm or a subzero temperature.”

With temperatures expected to be in the 30s, Sherman points out, it might not be that much different than some World Series games played in the Northeast.

If baseball players can deal with those elements, surely NFL players can, right?
